McCoy and Ross square off when the victim in McCoy's latest case is an Egyptian immigrant who attempted to have his American-born niece circumcised. McCoy wants the murderer - the girl's father - to be punished for his crime, but Ross fears that if the father is locked up, the girl will be left to the mercy of her Egyptian relatives, all of whom feel that circumcision is an important rite of passage for young girls.
